Greyhounds Big and Small: Iggies & Greyts | Amanda Jones

#haikuhive #haikuaday

Came across this pic today of my sweet Babs, a greyhound we adopted back in 2005. She's been gone since 2016, but I still can shed a tear just looking at her pictures. How she loved that Lamb Chop. 🤎🐾🤎

Naps were pure heaven
with your Lamp Chop by your side.
I miss you, sweet girl.

@Debinhawaii 💛💜🧡

1. Survived my first physical therapy session on my shoulder. Can't wait to get it in shape!
2. Surviving the insane temps. Yep, that arrow is pointing to 110ºF. Even the roadrunner's running away. Where the *()& is autumn?
3. My sister got a new puppy named Ranger, and he's only as big as her flip flops.
4. A lovely get-that-shoulder-in-shape gift from the dear @Cuilin.
5. Matt, Pip, and Kate. #always

TheBookHippie Yay for PT!!!!! ♥️♥️👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️ 3d

1. Surgery date scheduled for my shoulder: 8.20. It's my right shoulder, and I'm right-handed, so three weeks in a sling should be interesting. 😅
2. Such lovely birthday gifts from the most loverly Littens: @mcctrish, @Reaad4life, and @julieclair. Thank you, darlings! 💙🩵💙
3. The storms we experienced up in northeastern Arizona.
4. Matt's big-assed hat he had to buy up there. 😳
5. Matt, Pip, Kate. #always

Aims42 That hat is amazing 😂🤣 I bet you get some shade from it just by standing next to him. Best of luck with your shoulder surgery, hopefully your recovery is quick 🙏 2mo

dabbe @Aims42 I swear it's 3-fee wide! 😂 Thanks for the support. It'll be good to be able to have full motion again. 💙🩵💙 2mo

mcctrish That hat is amazing!!! As a left hander I think you should spend time with scissors and can openers and vegetable peelers in the next few weeks and then enjoy a nice break from them 😉 2mo

Aims42 @dabbe I‘ll be sending prayers and healing vibes your way on 8.20! 🙏✨💗 2mo

dabbe @mcctrish You know, I never really think how hard it is for left-handed people. Are you able to use left-handed devices for all of those things? It's funny. I use my right hand for everything EXCEPT balance. Like when I'm driving; if I drive one-handed, it's with my left hand. Weird. 🤣 2mo

dabbe @Aims42 TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

mcctrish I just use them right handed 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think most people are a bit of both handed 2mo

LiseWorks Oh boy, they say using your not dominant hand is good for the brain, so there is that 2mo

Bookwormjillk Good luck with the surgery! 2mo

AnnCrystal May your surgery go well and your recovery be swift 🙏🏼💝. 2mo

dabbe @LiseWorks 🩵🎯🩵 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk TY! 🩵💙🩵 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal TY! 🩵💙🩵 2mo

kspenmoll Denise I just know your surgery will go well it‘s tough when it‘s right side and you‘re right handed. I had shoulder surgery two years ago this September on my right as well. You‘ll be able to do it. It‘s amazing what your left hand can do! I will stay in touch and I‘m there for you throughout your healing process. And then you have the marvelous Matt.❤️❤️❤️❤️ 1mo

dabbe @kspenmoll Katherine, this note means the world to me! Thank you for your encouragement and support! If you can do this and make it through, so can I! I'm already on the lookout for shirts that button up the front! 😂 🩵💙🩵 1mo

Thanks for reminding us to find joy in even the smallest things, @Debinhawaii! 💙
1. Rainbows.
2. Thrifty cylindrical ice cream. #IFKTYK
3. Our little retro place in Pinetop-Lakeside.
4. The weather up here.
5. Matt, Kate, & Pip. #always

Please share your joys with us!

TheBookHippie Did the pup take her meds?!?! 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie It's still a battle. I now pack just one pill in a little bit of liver sausage, and she finally took them this morning. TWELVE pills. And TWELVE tonight. She's been a royal pain and it lucky she's cute. 🖤🐾🖤 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe Winnie sends her much sympathy…she was worried for her… (edited) 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Pippa sends a kiss back to Winnie! 🖤🐾🖤 2mo

dabbe @Leftcoastzen It is! Perfect for two people + two dogs. 💙💚💙 2mo

dabbe @Aims42 Thrifty was a big store in the southwest since I was a kid. You could buy a triple-decker cone for only 15 cents (5 cents for each scoop). And their scoops were shaped like a cylinder. Such memories! 🍦🩶🍦 2mo

Aims42 @dabbe Awwwww! Love a trip down memory lane, especially when a tasty treat is involved 😋 2mo

I can't believe I turn 60 this Bastille Day. Yet every time a body part creaks, I smile in recognition.

Sixty this July.
Mirror whispers, “How can that be?“
Time's swift river flows.

Amiable ❤️ Wonderful haiku! Age is just a number. 3mo

AlaMich My wife is turning 60 next week. She seems ok with it but I don‘t know if I am! 3mo

AmyG Better than the alternative. 60 wasn‘t so hard for me….that is the moment I sort of just gave up. 🤣 @AlaMich Ha! If she is ok, you are ok! 3mo

AlaMich @AmyG Well, I‘m next in two years so…👵🏻 3mo

mcctrish I was 60 last year and I still can‘t believe it - although Mariska Hargitay is too and that makes me feel better 3mo

AllDebooks I'm 56 on Monday, time does whizz by! 3mo

Deblovestoread Welcome to my decade! I‘ll be 66 in August. My husband and I were talking how long we‘d have Pippin and thought 13 or 14 more years…in 14 years I‘ll be 80 🤯 A friend said 80 is the new 60 so you‘re just a youngster 😂 3mo

TheLudicReader I loved turning 60, I have say. I felt freeeeeeeeeeee. I hope you do, too. 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Time flies when you‘re having fun!! 💙🩵💙 3mo

LiseWorks 60 is young, my dear ❤️ I'm turning 69 this month. That's pushing 70 yikes 😬 3mo

dabbe @Amiable Amen, sista! TY! 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @AlaMich She's a 🦀 like me! HB to her, and deal with it, my friend! 🤩😂😍 3mo

dabbe @AmyG True dat. Glad I'm still above the ground and kickin' around the sun! 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @mcctrish Ooh, that makes me feel better, too! 💙🩵💙 P.S. Your little something should arrive on Wednesday. 3mo

dabbe @AllDebooks Happy early birthday to you! 💙🩵💙 3mo

Texreader I just have three more years to 60! It‘s crazy!! It more power to us!! 3mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread When you're 16, the years ahead seem to go on forever. Now, it's like, holy crap! The years seem quite smaller now in number! And that can't be true that you'll be 80. Nope. We'll just keep staying in our 60s no matter what the calendar says. 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I think I will. Looking forward to being free with you in 4 weeks! 😍 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 There's a haiku in there; I can feel it! 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Nope. I just wrote @Deblovestoread that we're all going to stay in our 60s no matter what the calendar says! 💙🩵💙 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Is there something going on with the tagging? I‘ve missed several posts for some reason today 🤔 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 This one's on me! I didn't do any tagging at all! 😂 I'll fix it. 💙🩵💙 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Oh oops! 😅 no worries!! 3mo

Amiable @AmyG Ha ha, my grandmother used to say “any day you wake up on this side of the dirt is a good day.” 😄 2mo

lil1inblue “Time's swift river flows“ is such a great line! 😍 Happy early birthday! “Aging is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength.“ - Betty Friedan 2mo

dabbe @lil1inblue A much-needed quote! TY, m'dear! 💙🩵💙 2mo

TheBookHippie Aren‘t we 35 still? 2mo

julieclair This haiku perfectly captures not only how I feel about my own age (turned 68 in June - how is that possible) but also the ages of my friends‘ kids and grandkids. They all seem to be 3-5 years older than they are in my mind. 🤪 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #always 💙👊🏻🩵 2mo

dabbe @julieclair IKR? I'm still a teenager in my mind--until I move, that is. 🤪 2mo

@Debinhawaii (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I'm not Catholic, but I'm glad that a progressively-minded pope was chosen. Born and bred in Chicago, no less! 🤩
2. Watched out beloved D-backs beat LA last night! Picture is from our seats.
3. The newly-formed #haikuhive on Litsy. Reading everyone's haikus has brought such joy this May! 💛🐝🖤
4. It rained early this week. #sobsofjoy 😭

AnnCrystal @dabbe 😉👌🐝💝. 4mo

IriDas Thursday‘s game was really good. I enjoyed it, even though the Dodgers lost. Last night‘s game—that was wild. But I‘m a fan of the game, as well as the Dodgers, so it wasn‘t as enjoyable as it was entertaining. :) I had predicted they‘d each take two games, they‘re halfway there. 4mo

dabbe @IriDas Our bull pen sucks! 😂 And the Dodgers are just incredibly hot right now. Two great nights of baseball. ❤️🖤🩵 4mo

TheBookHippie @AmyG RIGHT?!?!?! I was beyond happy! 4mo

DogMomIrene I grew up with Catholicism forced on me. I‘m an atheist now, but even I‘m happy to see another progressive Pope. The Christian Nationalists terrify me. 4mo
